Biden's 2024 Team Roiled by Israel-Hamas War

Why it matters: The strife within the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — which Biden is leaning on for his re-election campaign — reflects larger generational and political divisions among Democrats.

Those divisions are chiefly between older pro-Israel Democrats and younger progressives who are more sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians.

Their differences have been exposed by the war in Gaza that began Oct. 7, after Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel killed 1,400 people. Israel’s counter-attacks in Gaza have killed more than 9,000 people, the Palestinian Ministry of Health claims.
